| - When it comes to wine bars, you EXPECT the wine to be good, but you never know what you'll get when it comes to the food. Foxcraft is the best of both worlds...a glass of delicious with a side order of amazing. Since this Dilworth location opened recently, I've been here three times and have eaten through half the menu. So far, I haven't had a bad dish.
The decor has a modern/rustic look. From the outside, you almost can't even tell if it's a wine shop or a restaurant. They have a ton of wine bottles on shelves that act as wall dividers in between rooms. Wine is apparently for purchase and not just for show, but it makes for great decor! There are also a few sections where you can sit. If you just want to have a glass of wine with a friend or a date, you can head over to the bar area. It's not huge and crowded, so go early or late. Otherwise, there are a few high-top tables. You can also sit in one of the main rooms and have dinner at a regular table. I also noticed a large community table in the front when you walk in. Great for a group of girls or couples looking for a fun place to do a dinner. The downside is that it could get a little loud at the bar during popular times, so sit in the dining room if you want to have a more intimate date. Really fun place if you want a lively, more upscale (not stuffy) atmosphere.
The wine is very diverse. They have a nice wine-by-the-glass selection from a whole slew of regions, and the wait staff can provide good descriptions and recommendations if you're not familiar with the wines. Despite how busy the restaurant is, it's not hard to flag someone down if you need something.
Food was outstanding. Both taste and presentation. Tapas is definitely the way to go at this place. The sliders were great. Salad, cheese, donuts, everything. I can't say I have a favorite yet because everything was good.
So Welcome to the Neighborhood, Foxcraft! I'll be seeing you soon and often.
